Hello everybody! I would like to know some information regarding the cluster of neutron systems around PSR J0024-7204U. I'm just find this cluster is outside the search area of the galaxy map.
Unreachable cluster of neutron stars

Maybe that cluster suffers the same fate as i.e. the Beta Phoenicis System?
I guess it's a bug.
(Beta Phoenicis has been bug-reported many years ago, though... and it still sits far below the Galaxy)

Yes, those are real-world pulsars whose positions lie beyond the edges of the box within which the galaxy sits.
It's not really a "bug". The game has to put a wall somewhere, beyond which it is impossible to traverse. The real-world universe, of course, has no such box. Those pulsars - and Beta Phoenicis - are outside the box.
The box cannot be expanded to include them, and the stars cannot be moved to somewhere inside the box. Doing either of those things would destroy the galaxy. So there is no solution to this predicament, other than deleting the entire galaxy and trying again. Of course, making the box bigger would simply mean that there would be different real-world objects that are outside the box (like globular clusters).

You can never actually see them on the map properly to select them. If you type these "out of the box" star system names into the galaxy map search and click on the "find" arrow, it tries to zoom in to the system, then bounces back to the "wall".
Example: Beta Phoenicis is at about co-ordinates 8317 / -25550 / 3746. It will zoom down to those co-ordinates, then bounce back up to 8317 / -10985 / 3746, which is on the bottom edge of the box.

if interested, this is how this cluster looks like. I was able to take a screenshot only due to the fact that while this area is being scaled there is about a second before you are thrown back again. By the way, you can even put a bookmark there if you have time to calculate the timing for this.
